During the first international joint observation of the Leo strong meteor shower, multidisciplinary and multi-media synthetic observation of Leo and Draco strong meteor showers and their catastrophic space weather events were carried out. The comprehensive analysis of the observed and related data of the Leo, Perseus and Draco strong meteor showers obtained for near half a century (from 1957 to 2003) fully verifies that the non-sporadic periodic strong meteor shower may lead to catastrophic space weather events. Preliminary identification is made of the following: the mechanism of formation of strong meteor showers, the law of occurrence of the fbEs abnormal peak and serious safety hazards for astronavigation. Also discussed in this paper are the evolutionary process of cometary dust, the law of occurrence and loss of cosmic dust storm and the mechanism of maintaining cosmic dust in the mid-latitude Es layer. 相似文献

For both asteroids and meteor streams, and also for comets, resonances play a major role for their orbital evolutions but on different time scales. For asteroids both mean motion resonances and secular resonances not only structure the phase space of regular orbits but are mainly at the origin for the inherent chaos of planet crosser objects.For comets and their chaotic routes temporary trapping into orbital resonances is a well known phenomenon. In addition for slow diffusion through the Kuiper belt resonances are the only candidates for originating a slow chaos.Like for asteroids, resonances with Jupiter play a major role for the orbital evolution of meteor streams. Crossing of separatrix like zones appears to be crucial for the formation of arcs and for the dissolution of streams. In particular the orbital inclination of a meteor stream appears to be a critical parameter for arc formation. Numerical results obtained in an other context show that the competition between the Poynting-Robertson drag and the gravitational interaction of grains near the 2/1 resonance might be very important in the long run for the structure of meteor streams. 相似文献

Meteors are streaks of light seen in the upper atmosphere when particles from the inter-planetary dust complex collide with the Earth. Meteor showers originate from the impact of a coherent stream of such dust particles, generally assumed to have been recently ejected from a parent comet. The parent comets of these dust particles, or meteoroids, fortunately, for us tend not to collide with the Earth. Hence there has been orbital changes from one to the other so as to cause a relative movement of the nodes of the meteor orbits and that of the comet, implying changes in the energy and/or angular momentum. In this review, we will discuss these changes and their causes and through this place limits on the ejection process. Other forces also come into play in the longer term, for example perturbations from the planets, and the effects of radiation pressure and Poynting–Robertson drag. The effect of these will also be discussed with a view to understanding both the observed evolution in some meteor streams. Finally we will consider the final fate of meteor streams as contributors to the interplanetary dust complex. 相似文献

The recent development and data collection results of the Astrobiology Instrumentation for Meteor Imaging and Tracking (AIM-IT)
system, has demonstrated an ability to point narrow field-of-view instruments at transient events such as meteors. AIM-IT
uses the principle of tracking moving objects via a paired set of relay mirrors along with an integrated hardware/software
solution, to acquire and track meteors in real-time. Development of the instrument has progressed from a prototype rocker-box
system through more recent use of a fast response mirror system during several meteor shower campaigns. Several narrow field
of view instruments have been deployed using AIM-IT including high spatial resolution video, high frame rate video, and meteor
spectrographic equipment. Analysis of the imagery shows evidence for meteor fragmentation in as many as 20% of the meteors
tracked thus far. The success of the AIM-IT technology in tracking meteors during their luminous flight provides a new tool
in enhancing the capabilities and data volume that can be obtained with existing narrow field of view instruments. 相似文献

Recent progress on the interrelation between meteor streams and comets is reviewed both on dynamical and physical aspects.
The topics include the recent concept of the structure of meteor streams, resulted success of the prediction of the meteor
storms, and the recent observational situation on the cometary dust grains and meteoroids. Two possible explanations for the
origin of the meteoroids together with the implication for the relation between the birthplace of the parent comets and the
meteoroids are discussed. 相似文献

The Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory (EChO) has been studied as a space mission concept by the European Space Agency in the context of the M3 selection process. Through direct measurement of the atmospheric chemical composition of hundreds of exoplanets, EChO would address fundamental questions such as: What are exoplanets made of? How do planets form and evolve? What is the origin of exoplanet diversity? More specifically, EChO is a dedicated survey mission for transit and eclipse spectroscopy capable of observing a large, diverse and well-defined planetary sample within its four to six year mission lifetime. In this paper we use the end-to-end instrument simulator EChOSim to model the currently discovered targets, to gauge which targets are observable and assess the EChO performances obtainable for each observing tier and time. We show that EChO would be capable of observing over 170 relativity diverse planets if it were launched today, and the wealth of optimal targets for EChO expected to be discovered in the next 10 years by space and ground-based facilities is simply overwhelming. In addition, we build on previous molecular detectability studies to show what molecules and abundances will be detectable by EChO for a selection of real targets with various molecular compositions and abundances. EChO’s unique contribution to exoplanetary science will be in identifying the main constituents of hundreds of exoplanets in various mass/temperature regimes, meaning that we will be looking no longer at individual cases but at populations. Such a universal view is critical if we truly want to understand the processes of planet formation and evolution in various environments. In this paper we present a selection of key results.

We have carried out multi-station TV observations since 1994 in order to determine the orbit of the Arietid daytime meteor
stream. In 1999, one possible Arietid meteor was recorded by our simultaneous observations and its orbit was determined. In
2003, two Arietid meteors were observed from two stations of our observing site, those orbits were determined precisely, the
orbital elements were in good agreement with each other. This is the first time that determination of the precise orbit of
the Arietids has been made from optical observations. The orbit of these Arietid meteors, and comparison with the orbit obtained
from radar observations are discussed. 相似文献

Recent meteor research in South Africa, arising largely from the development of forward and back scatter observing systems, is briefly reviewed. The main areas of investigation have been the use of single station radars to deduce meteor radiant structures, the study of upper atmospheric wind patterns, and research into the factors which influence the performance of meteor burst communication systems. 相似文献

We analyse data obtained by different ground-based video camera systems during the 1999 Leonid meteor storm. We observe similar
activity profiles at nearby observing sites, but significant differences over distances in the order of 4,000 km. The main
peak occured at 02:03 UT (λ⊙=235.286, J2000, corrected for the time of the topocentric stream encounter). At the Iberian peninsula quasi-periodic activity
fluctuations with a period of about 7 min were recorded. The camera in Jordan detected a broad plateau of activity at 01:39–01:53
UT, but no periodic variations. The Leonid brightness distribution derived from all cameras shows a lack of faint meteors
with a turning point close to +3m, which corresponds to meteoroids of approximately 10-3 g. We find a pin-point radiant at αalpha=153.65 ±0.1, δ=21.80 ±0. (λ⊙=235.290). The radiant positionis identical before and after the storm, and also during the storm no driftis observed.

In the present age, several techniques for the application to the observation of meteors and meteor showers have been developed in modern meteor astronomy. The initial definition for a meteor storm based on the visual observation with a Zenithal Hourly Rate of above 1000 seems insufficient now, since it only means a storm or burst of meteors in numbers and means that an eyewitness could have a chance to see a spectacular meteor show. Up to now, peoples have also recorded the meteoric flashes on the Moon during the Leonid meteor showers. Especially, the increasing activities of mankind in space for scientific, commercial and military purposes, have led to an increase in the problems concerning the safety of the satellites, space stations and astronauts. How the intense activity of a meteor storm is defined and forecast, some new points of view are needed. In this paper, several aspects about the intensity of the meteor storm are analyzed, including the number, mass, impulse, energy, electric charge, different purposes and different physical meanings. Finally, a synthetical index denoting the activity and potential threat of an intense meteor shower is suggested. 相似文献

On July 28, 2006 the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences recorded the spectrum of a faint meteor. We confidently identify the lines of FeI and MgI, OI, NI and molecular-nitrogen (N2) bands. The entry velocity of the meteor body into the Earth’s atmosphere estimated from radial velocity is equal to 300 km/s. The body was several tens of a millimeter in size, like chondrules in carbon chondrites. The radiant of the meteor trajectory coincides with the sky position of the apex of the motion of the Solar system toward the centroid of the Local Group of galaxies. Observations of faint sporadic meteors with FAVOR TV CCD camera confirmed the radiant at a higher than 96% confidence level. We conclude that this meteor particle is likely to be of extragalactic origin. The following important questions remain open: (1) How metal-rich dust particles came to be in the extragalactic space? (2) Why are the sizes of extragalactic particles larger by two orders of magnitude (and their masses greater by six orders of magnitude) than common interstellar dust grains in our Galaxy? (3) If extragalactic dust surrounds galaxies in the form of dust (or gas-and-dust) aureoles, can such formations now be observed using other observational techniques (IR observations aboard Spitzer satellite, etc.)? (4) If inhomogeneous extragalactic dust medium with the parameters mentioned above actually exists, does it show up in the form of irregularities on the cosmic microwave background (WMAP etc.)? 相似文献

Efforts to link minor meteor showers to their parent bodies have been hampered both by the lack of high-accuracy orbits for
weak showers and the incompleteness of our sample of potential parent bodies. The Canadian Meteor Orbital Radar (CMOR) has
accumulated over one million meteor orbits. From this large data set, the existence of weak showers and the accuracy of the
mean orbits of these showers can be improved. The ever-growing catalogue of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) provides the complimentary
data set for the linking procedure. By combining a detailed examination of the background of sporadic meteors near the orbit
in question (which the radar data makes possible) and by computing the statistical significance of any shower association
(which the improved NEA sample allows) any proposed shower–parent link can be tested much more thoroughly than in the past.
Additional evidence for the links is provided by a single-station meteor radar at the CMOR site which can be used to dispel
confusion between very weak showers and statistical fluctuations in the sporadic background. The use of these techniques and
data sets in concert will allow us to confidently link some weak streams to their parent bodies on a statistical basis, while
at the same time showing that previously identified minor showers have little or no activity and that some previously suggested
linkages may simply be chance alignments. 相似文献

The correlation of sporadic meteor rates from radar observations in January, August, and December non-show-er periods in 1958–2000,
and relevant solar activity represented by the solar relative number, R, is investigated. Similar analysis of the December
sporadic period was already presented by Simek 1999, and Pecina. Complete analysis indicates high correlation of both phenomena
with sporadic meteor counts curve following that of solar activity after 1.5–2 years in the mean eleven year solar cycle with
the correlation index exceeding 70%. This result supports the large volume of observing material of the Ondřejov meteor radar
in the above mentioned span covering almost four solar cycles.

The Third Peak of the 1998 Leonid Meteor Shower 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
1 INTRODUCTIONThe Leonid meteor shower is a well-known periodic meteor shower. Its history is tied upwith the development of the theory of meteor stream astronomy itself. It was the very st.rongshowers of 1799 and 1833 that played a sghficant pat in the recoghtion of the ealstence ofmeteoroid streams. These evellts started the obse~ions of Leoaid meteor shower and broughtabout the birth of meteoritiCS. It is known that the Leould parent comet, 55P/Tempel-TUttle,has an orbital period a… 相似文献

The IAU Meteor Data Center in Lund has acted as a central depository for meteor orbits obtained by photographic, video and
radar techniques. The database of precisely reduced photographic meteors contains data on 4581 meteor orbits obtained by 17
different stations or groups in the period 1936–1996. The orbital and geophysical data are available in two separate files
as well as in an alternative file with the merged data. In various studies of meteoroid streams as well as in studies of the
sporadic meteor background, it is often necessary to utilize both the orbital and the geophysical data files. Since the database
is a compilation of partial, not perfectly compatible catalogues from many observing stations, the merging of parameters from
one data set to another may sometimes present problems. The present contribution is a note on some problems encountered in
the merging procedure. Moreover, it is evident that the database includes a small amount of erroneous data – either in the
observations or in the subsequent data reductions. The latter error is not surprising in view of the lack of modern computers
at several stations in the past. A final, corrected version of the IAU MDC Lund photographic meteor orbits (eq. 2000.0) can
now be requested through the homepage of the Astronomical Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences (http://www.astro.sk/~ne/IAUMDC/Ph2003/database.html). 相似文献

The prime measurement objective of the Near Earth Object Chemical Analysis Mission (NEOCAM) is to obtain the ultraviolet spectra
of meteors entering the terrestrial atmosphere from ∼125 to 300 nm in meteor showers. All of the spectra will be collected
using a slitless ultraviolet spectrometer in Earth orbit. Analysis of these spectra will reveal the degree of chemical diversity
in the meteors, as observed in a single meteor shower. Such meteors are traceable to a specific parent body and we know exactly
when the meteoroids in a particular shower were released from that parent body (Asher, in: Arlt (ed.) Proc. International
Meteor Conference, 2000; Lyytinen and van Flandern, Earth Moon Planets 82–83:149–166, 2000). By observing multiple apparitions
of meteor showers we can therefore obtain quasi-stratigraphic information on an individual comet or asteroid. We might also
be able to measure systematic effects of chemical weathering in meteoroids from specific parent bodies by looking for correlations
in the depletions of the more volatile elements as a function of space exposure (Borovička et al., Icarus 174:15–30, 2005).
By observing the relation between meteor entry characteristics (such as the rate of deceleration or breakup) and chemistry
we can determine if our meteorite collection is deficient in the most volatile-rich samples. Finally, we can obtain a direct
measurement of metal deposition into the terrestrial stratosphere that may act to catalyze atmospheric chemical reactions. 相似文献

Abstract— The COMET program is a program for the collection of micron to submicron interplanetary dust particles in low Earth orbits. Since collection takes place as the Earth crosses a given meteor stream, the particles are mainly of cometary origin. The grain remnants, located at their impact positions on high purity metallic collectors, are analysed in the laboratory for chemical and isotopical identification. The COMET-1 experiment took place in 1985 October, during encounter with the Draconid meteor stream, related to the Giacobini-Zinner comet. The fluence of extraterrestrial grains that had impacted our detectors was ~10x higher than the value of the mean meteroid fluence at ~1AU, which suggests that most of the grains originated from the Giacobini-Zinner comet. One of the most important results of their chemical analysis was that ~90% of them are enriched in low Z elements (C and O have undoubedly been identified). They could contain a CHON phase similar to that observed in the close environment of Halley's nucleus. The first imagery of the grain remnants by field emission scanning electron microscopy suggests that they are very low density aggregates still present at the impacting positions which, in most cases, are very different from the impact craters observed for the same mean relative velocity for full grains of the same size. These results show that the COMET program has constituted an important step towards the analysis of cometary material and the understanding of the evolution of the early Solar System. 相似文献

Based on the number of planet-approaching cometary orbits at Mars and Venus relative to the Earth, there should be ample opportunities
for observing meteor activity at those two planets. The ratio of planet-approaching Jupiter family comets (JFCs) at Mars,
Earth, and Venus is 4:2:1 indicating that JFC-related outbursts would be more frequent at Mars than the Earth. The relative
numbers of planet-approaching Halley-type comets (HTCs) implies that the respective levels of annual meteor activity at those
three planets are similar. We identify several instances where near-comet outbursts (Jenniskens, P.: 1995, Astron. Astrophys. 295, 206–235) may occur. A possible double outburst of this type at Venus related to 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Padjusakova may be observable
by the ESA Venus Express spacecraft in the summer of 2006. Similarly, the Japanese Planet-C Venus orbiter may observe an outburst related to 27P/Crommelin’s perihelion passage in July 2011. Several additional opportunities
exist to observe such outbursts at Mars from 2019 to 2026 associated with comets 38P/Stephan-Oterma, 13P/Olbers and 114P/Wiseman-Skiff. 相似文献

In our work, the method that can help to predict the existence of distant objects in the Solar system is demonstrated. This
method is connected with statistical properties of a heliocentric orbital complex of meteoroids with high eccentricities.
Heliocentric meteoroid orbits with high eccentricities are escape routes for dust material from distant parental objects with
near-circular orbits to Earth-crossing orbits. Ground-based meteor observations yield trajectory information from which we
can derive their place of possible origin: comets, asteroids, and other objects (e.g. Kuiper Objects) in the Solar system
or even interstellar space. Statistical distributions of radius vectors of nodes, and other parameters of orbits of meteoroids
contain key information about position of greater bodies. We analyze meteor orbits with high eccentricities that were registered
in 1975–1976 in Kharkiv (Ukraine). The orbital data of the Kharkiv electronic catalogue are received from observations of
radiometeors with masses 10−6−10−3 g. 相似文献
